During the Sony State of Play on Feb. 23, the developers confirmed that the game will be set in the same universe as the Arkham games, though the game is far from a direct sequel to the title. Kill the Justice League is reportedly set five years after the events of Arkham Knight, and developers have confirmed that the most crossover you'll see is occasional "related narrative elements."

Instead of taking place in Gotham, as so many of the other games in this universe have, Kill the Justice League is set in Metropolis, Superman's home city. The developers have called the setting "our biggest map yet," writing on PlayStation's blog "Metropolis is more than twice the size of Batman: Arkham Knight’s Gotham, but it’s not just about size: we’ve put the detail and personality in our world that we think makes it feel alive, and that players expect from us."

DC buffs should also note that this game is entirely separate from the many DC movies and shows being made at this time, so you won't be able to draw any parallels between this game and any of the previous Suicide Squad movies.
